    How could it be lower milk content? Cheese is 99.9% milk by definition, especially actual cheese (not sure what’s in this Kraft stuff). The only additive is supposed to be the starter culture.

      American cheese is processed. Depending on the amount of milk added during that processing, you get a product with a more or less firm consistency.

      Singles are liquid when they’re poured into the wrap, and then they solidify. In this they end up being far less like traditional cheese.
